If you are reasonably good at writing, grammar, and syntax, then the multiple choice section of the test should be a breeze.
Everyone makes a big deal out of the essay, but it's really not difficult at all. They give you two sources (I think, it's been a year or so) and you write an essay basically taking a position and using the provided sources. There's 20 or 30 minutes to read the sources (which are pretty short) and write the essay. There's a rudimentary text editor in the testing software.
I had no problem completing the essay a few minutes under the allotted time.
If you have any concerns, I do recommend the Modernstates.org (free) CLEP english comp prep course. It will prepare you and build confidence... and if you complete it (takes only a couple days if you spend a couple hours a day), they will pay for your exam AND the proctoring fees.
